after talking to lynn yesterday i realised that first thing in the morning is the perfect time to do art. so this morning at 6:45 i left for this café down the street and i painted/drew and suddenly it was 8:30 and i realised i needed to go get ready for work soon!

visiting lynn and carol today was the absolute best thing i could have done with my day. so much love, happiness, and inspiration. i am incredibly blessed to have people like them in my life. i cannot remember the last time i was so completely content. life is wonderful.

good feelings (a list to remember when i’m sad)

• taking an outdoor shower.
• getting so lost in a drawing or painting that you forget you exist.
• in choir, getting a completely new song. you’re shaky at first, everyone’s making mistakes, you cling to the sheet music for dear life. and then suddenly there’s this moment when it all clicks, and you and everyone around you are in perfect harmony with one another, and you realise that you’re creating beauty.
• receiving a long, long letter in the mail. 
• sitting somewhere high up with your legs dangling down.
• being a little kid at a boring grown-up event, sneaking around and playing and getting into mischief.
• stargazing with someone who knows the sky very well.
• making a joke that everyone laughs at.
• when the power goes out and you have nothing to do, so you play with candles and make cool patterns with the melted wax.
• writing really neatly when you aren’t even trying to.
• being taken care of.
• meeting someone new and realising that you immediately understand each other.
• getting prank calls that are actually funny.
• having long sleepy conversations in the dark at sleepovers.
• sleepovers, just as a concept.
